Quality

Content

81%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The body is a highly actionable, well-sequenced orchestration workflow with explicit validation gates, feedback loops, and copy-paste agent prompts. Its only notable weakness is redundancy: the completion/approval scope and out-of-scope statements are each repeated multiple times.

Suggestions

State the user-approval completion gate once (e.g., in the Execution Protocol) and remove the duplicate 'Responsibility Boundary' and Step 6 restatements.

Drop the duplicated 'document creation is out of scope' row from the Error Handling table since it already appears in the Step 1 decision table.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is procedural with no explanations of concepts Claude already knows, but it repeats the user-approval completion gate three times (Execution Protocol scope, Responsibility Boundary, Step 6) and restates 'document creation is out of scope' in both Step 1 and the Error Handling table, so it could be tightened.

3 / 5

Actionability

Guidance is fully executable: copy-paste subagent prompt blocks with declared mechanical-extraction placeholders, exact path patterns, per-type reviewer shapes, decision tables for type/layer selection, and an error-handling table with a retry rule.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Steps 1-6 are explicitly sequenced with evidence-based advancement, validation checkpoints at every branch (code-verifier, document-reviewer, design-sync), a feedback loop back to Step 4 via the Review Resolution Gate, and a completion checklist.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The single file is well-structured with clear section headers, tables, and prompt blocks; no bundle files exist so nothing is withheld, but the ~200-line orchestration body is not the lean overview-plus-references shape of the top anchor.

Description

61%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description is concise, specific about the artifact types it handles, and clearly distinguishes updating from creating. Its main weakness is the absence of any 'Use when...' trigger clause and missing common verb variations (edit, revise, modify).

Suggestions

Append a trigger clause such as 'Use when the user asks to update, edit, or revise an existing Design Doc, PRD, or ADR' to satisfy completeness and add natural verb variations.

Consider mentioning the review outcome explicitly (e.g., 'with quality review and consistency verification') so the 'with review' capability reads as a concrete action rather than a vague qualifier.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain concretely ('Design Doc / PRD / ADR') with two actions ('Update', 'with review'), matching the anchor for naming a domain plus 1-2 concrete actions; it is not score 4 because no further specific capabilities are listed.

3 / 5

Completeness

The 'what' is clear (update existing design documents with review), but there is no 'Use when...' clause or equivalent explicit trigger guidance, which caps completeness at 3 per the rubric guideline.

3 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

'Design Doc', 'PRD', 'ADR', and 'update' are natural terms users would say, but common variations like 'edit', 'revise', or 'modify' are missing, placing it just below comprehensive synonym coverage.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

'Update existing' plus the enumerated artifact types carves a mostly distinct niche from creation or implementation skills, with only minor overlap risk against closely related document-authoring skills.
